Welcome to the Blog

Getting Started

Having a blog is a great way to keep your customers updated about the things you and your business are up to. It gives your company a personality so that customers and potential customers can relate to you more and can be used to promote new products and services you offer.

In addition to this, a blog can be very beneficial for your website SEO, as Google tends to favour regularly-updated content. It is also a great opportunity to get more of your targeted keywords onto your website.

Whilst compiling a blog post, the toolbar located at the top will have several buttons for you to access. 

Clicking the +Add Block button will display the block filter menu, giving you access to all of the different blocks Create offers to build the blog post you need.

The Save drop-down button will give you access to saving a draft, publishing the post, or discarding changes and exiting

Post Settings

Whilst editing a post, you will have access to a Post Settings button, located in the top-right. Clicking this will open a panel allowing you access to specific settings for a post. In this section you can do the following:

 

  • Schedule the post to appear at a future date
  • Assign the post to a Blog Category
  • Set a description for the post
  • Set the Post Featured Image and optional alternative Listing Image
  • Setup the post meta data

Blog Settings

Found in the main Blog area, this gives you access to the Blog Listing Layout and Blog Post Layout settings. Here you can choose your preferred layout that will be used for the Blog listings section of your website. There are a range of different layouts, allowing you to choose the one which fits the style of your website the best.

The Blog Post Layout controls how the featured image (located at the top of the post) and Blog Title will display. It is a global setting that all of your blog posts will follow. We have options that allow for the title to be located above or on top of the featured image.
